Tottenham is investigating allegations that Son Heung-min was racially abused during Spurs’ defeat to Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday. Spurs supporter and journalist James Dickens claims the abuse was directed at Son by a spectator. He says that, when he confronted the fan, he was sworn at. Dickens confirmed he is working with the club to identify the culprit, tweeting: “I’ve not experienced racism at football for about 15 years. But today at @SpursOfficial was hideous. Reported to stewards, confronted him myself.
I’ve not experienced racism at football for about 15 years. But today at @SpursOfficial was hideous. Reported to stewards, confronted him myself and was called a c*nt. While I was standing next to my son. Hideous.
